This is definitely one of my dream cars, and I lurk over at gt40s.com in the SLC section drooling over them (your build especially). Between the great looks, light weight, lsx platform ability, and the race results, you cannot find a single flaw with the car!

Yours is exactly how I want mine (your painting skills are amazing by the way), so hopefully in the next couple years I will be able to start an slc project...
Thank you for the nice words. EVERYTHING is for sale if the offer is good enough...

As soon as I hit the lottery, I will be sure to shoot you an offer!

Out of curiousity, why the decision to go to a balance/h(ish) pipe vs. an x pipe? clearance issues or power reasons? Do you think having the pipe entrance being at a 45* angle to the oncoming gas will cause power consumption? I only ask because I have never seen a configuration designed like this.

Great looking work though!

I had the same question pop in my mind when I was designing it in my head. Then I remembered that fluids always flow the path of least resistance...so I built it. My crude compressed air test after it support's it shouldn't be a problem.

The proof will be on the dyno when I test it with open headers vs. the catback. If it's much more than a 2-3% difference, I will first cut out the cats and test it again. If the drop is still there, that will leave the overall design in question as I doubt the mufflers will be a problem.

Thanks

Just read the whole thread and this build is awesome. Loving the color of the car and I can't wait to see what this thing puts out on the dyno as well as what it runs on the track. Looking forward to more updates!

The sound doesn't come out right on my phone. I think it overwhelms the mic.

Start-up before you rerouted fuel lines- or was "Y" a restriction?

I have a video blipping the throttle but I filmed it myself and I was too close to the exhaust. It overwhelmed the mic on my phone and sounds harsh. Weird.

The fuel lines were changed prior to first start. Not due to a restriction, but to clean up the install.

I built some stainless coolant lines to replace the corrugated metal hoses:
